unfortunately yes super soft slicks at £900 a set on magnesium wheels need to be looked after :roll:

Simon, first in class and second overall cannot be too bad on lousy tyres :!: Apart from the nutty issue what did you think of the car, or couldn't you really tell with those tyres :?:

Datalogger says my best lap should have been (combining all the fastest sectors together) 83.21, so only 0.4secs off. Not bad really.

Just looks perfect for breaking halfshafts and axle welds , a horrible track in places --- just imagine the forces on the axle & drive train when it lands , gaining grip again with even higher rev's than when lost that grip :shock:

Still trying to decided if there are 2 wheels in the air or just one rear....I think the other one is an optical illusion.

Looks like 2 off and the n/s front not far behind to me.
